for example

did you expect me to make this thread in the first place?

if you didn't, then that makes it ironic by default of your given standard

and since no one is psychic

everything outside of a routine (95% of all things that happen) are ironic
according to you

You're convieniently ignoring the defining characteristic of intent. Whether or not you believe that a person who's very outspoken on what they don't like intentionally mocking something they don't like is unexpected or not is secondary.

Of course not everything that's unexpected is irony. For example coincidence (something that's often mistaken for irony) isn't.

To give a couple well known examples to illustrate the difference.

A professional driver dying in a car crash is irony, two baseball payers from the same home town playing against eachother and having the same jersey number is coincidence.

Being opposite of expectation is not the same as being unexpected.

No, it isn't. It's COMPLETELY expected. "Professional" means that you do something for a living. If you drive for a LIVING, you are FAR MORE LIKELY to die in a car crash than the average bear.

I mean come the fuck on.

It would only be ironic if he was driving in a car that was built like a tank, so that he'd never die in a crash--and then he dies in a crash.

gee

i think i know irony better than the person trying to teach me!

HOW IRONIC

The fact that your only retort is to over think a simple example in an attempt to nitpick speaks volumes. However at this point all you're really doing is looking to have the last word so I guess this conversation is over.

Well umm

You see you never gave a simple example for me to over think. You just told me I didn't know what irony was while using the word irony incorrectly. This is that last word thing that you always do again though so I'm not sure why I even bothered to type this up.

I never used the word irony correctly. You displayed your ignorance over what irony is. You think that it's ironic if a professional driver dies in a car crash. That's breath-taking ignorance. You're a terrible admin.

Sandtrap · April 19, 2015, 11:22:06 PM

For fuck's sake. I'm trying to remember my fucking shit and I can't.

You put fucking banana in your post. And it all makes me think of is that dragon ball z parody with frieza saying banana in it at one point.

I was going to quote that like the generic retard that I am and look funny.

But no. I fucking forgot it. I can't remember the quote. And I don't even remember the name of the parody.

So. Fuck you, banana.

By explaining to you exactly what it is.

Because it is if you're not over thinking it in an attempt to nit pick. Someone who is trained on defensive driving and has hundreds of hours of professional driving experience behind them is someone who is not expected to die in a car crash. It's like a lifeguard drowning in a pool.

You never did that.

Which is exactly what you did.

Posting about post count, as if it matters, is ironic.

Get over it.
